I don't know about you, but Indian cuisine is one of my absolute favorites. In fact, my first taste of Indian food back in the 90s was so satisfying, so strangely familiar, that it almost seemed I was recalling home-cooked food from another life.

My very favorite Indian dish is Chicken Tikka Masala, though its origins are in dispute and may actually have been created in Britain or Scotland.In any event, it is heavenly.

As you may know, I love to cook. This weekend I watched a video tutorial on how to make the dish in a single pot. I thought it looked kind of sketchy, though, and sought out another recipe that looked more legit. And this is what I found:

It was absofreakinglutely delicious. The only thing I'll do differently next time is add a touch of tomato paste for color, as the two chopped tomatoes weren't enough to give the dish its signature orange color.

Oh, and I'll probably add a generous pinch of Cayenne Pepper, as it deserves to be a little hotter. Or let each person add it themselves, to make it as spicy as they like. (Which is what we ended up doing.)
